However, it is not just any combination of 180 credits that will do. There are limits and requirements on the number of credits that you can use from modules at different levels: • No more than 80 credits can be taken from Level 1, or below, modules (e.g. ENG 10050, ECON10010), which no more than 10 credits can be taken from Level 0 (e.g. IR00010).  • At least 100 credits must be taken from modules at Level 2 (e.g. ENG20040) and higher. • Within the 100 credits required at Level 2 and higher, at least 40 credits must be at Level 3 (ENG30070) or above (IS40310)These totals must be achieved across the entire degree.
